Backspace not mapped (^H) at telnet login prompt.
 

We are running RHEL with telnet-server-0.17-39. Backspace is properly mapped (via profile) once logged in but at the login prompt using backspace just gives ^H. Anyone have any ideas how I can 'correct' this mapping prior to login?

Before you all shout "use ssh!", we can't as we are running a very old app that requires a specific telnet client.

Thanks in advance for any help.
